You know how in MATLAB, when you press on up arrow key you get the last command? Well I somehow changed that in the Preferences and now instead of returning the last commands, it navigates up in the prompt window. The thing is, I don't remember what I did, and I can't find the place where I change it back.
So my question is - how do I turn it back so I get the last commands?
I'm using the 7.7.0 version.
Thanks
OK, found it. It's on File-> Preferences-> Command Window-> Accessibility-> Arrow keys navigate instead of recalling history.

I recently upgraded IPython and the up arrow behaviour changed. Previously, I could get the entire command from my history. Now, it's greyed out and I have to press right to complete it before I can press enter or edit it:
When did this change? How do I get the previous behaviour back?
I had used Eclipse earlier, afterwards I switched to IntelliJ for a while and now back to Eclipse. There is one thing from IntelliJ which I can't find in Eclipse: Navigating to the real last cursor position - even in the same file and even if the cursor was moved between the lines using the arrow keys on the keyboard or the mouse. IntelliJ is able to do it and I found it really useful.
For example:
I move the cursor using the keyboard's down arrow key successively on lines 10, 20, 30.
Now I am on line 30 and when I press Alt+left I would like the cursor to go to the line 20.
After pressing Alt+left again I would like the cursor to go to line 10.
After pressing Alt+right afterwards I would like the cursor to go to the line 20 again.
The following shortcuts are available in Eclipse:
Alt+left - it navigates back to the last cursor position in a different file, not to the last cursor position in the current file even if I already moved my cursor in the same file
Alt+right - it navigates forward to the next cursor position in a different file, not to the next cursor position in the current file even if I already moved my cursor in the same file
Ctrl+Q - moves the cursor to the last edit location
The latest version of Eclipse in which I tested the above-mentioned shortcuts: Eclipse Luna 4.4.0.
I found the following discussion about the same problem (lacking such functionality in Eclipse) which is quite old, but it seems that this functionality has not been implemented in Eclipse since that discussion in eclipse forum.
Does anyone of you know if this functionality will be implemented in Eclipse? Is there a plugin for Eclipse which provides such functionality of navigating back to the last cursor position?
Please note, that due to the reasons described above, I'm not satisfied with the solutions provided as an answer to this SO question 'How to navigate to the last cursor position in Eclipse?' or to the other SO question 'How to go back in Eclipse?'.
Go to Preferences / General / Keys. You'll be able to see or edit the bindings for:
Backward History: default is Alt←
Forward History: default is Alt→
You may also use those shortcuts (and see the key bindings) in the toolbar:

There is Alt+left arrow and Alt+right arrow to navigate to previous/next cursor positions, and CtrlQ to go to the last edited position
Use bookmarks for that because there is no another way of tracking the necessary code lines. Here is the link about how to use bookmarks http://www.luisdelarosa.com/2005/02/16/eclipse-tip-use-bookmarks-to-track-important-places-in-your-code/
Screenshot of the aforementioned article's content in the link:
I use the side buttons of my mouse and it works for me
The key combination Ctrl + Q brings you back to the last locations, where editing was done.
Use Ctrl + L for an overview of shortcuts. See also Eclipse shortcuts or this Eclipse cheat sheet.
Navigate > Back (Alt+Left_Arrow) already allows to navigate back to previous cursor positions even in the same file. E.g. after you Ctrl+Click on a reference to a local variable (to go to the declaration), then Alt+Left puts the caret back to the reference.

I searched and was very surprised that I can't find a possibility to make CTRL+A, CTRL+E work. So I can jump to the beginning or end of the line. I'm working on a Mac and don't have Pos1 or Home Button on my keyboard.
I'm pretty used to it, because everywhere I need it, it exists, not so in eclipse.
When you set custom keys in eclipse - just make sure that the keys you assign are not already assigned to different actions.
e.g.
enter "ctrl+a" into the filter field and "unbind" the shortcut from all actions that you don't need
select action you want ("line start"), put cursor in "Binding" field and click Ctrl+A
Enter command + -->). this will work.
Another option I found was:
going to preferences
to general -> Editors -> keys
from Scheme select Emacs
Sorry I tried to post a pic, but apparently I need more points...
Home (goes to beginning of the line),End(goes to end of the line) works for me )
i see this post. but i still dont see any way to be able to quickly step through a bunch of search results, making edits, and using a shortcut key to advance to the next result. the Find Next shortcut only works in the Search Tab window, not in the Editor window, where i have focus, while editing. I have to keep clicking on the next result and then clicking in the editor window to make my edits.
Seems so basic, i must be missing something.
i now see that Ctl+K is set to do something similar.
Ctrl+Alt+G is a default shortcut to search currently selected text in the whole workspace (Search>Text>Workspace from menu).
There are no default key mappings for searching selected text in file and in the current project but I find it very usefull added (Ctrl+Alt+F, and Ctrl+Alt+P respectively (Window>Preferences>Keys))
Suppose I make a method signature change that breaks several callers, and I want to review the call sites manually to update them.
Once I change the signature, my "Problems" view shows, say, a dozen errors.
What keys can I hit to navigate through them while leaving the keyboard focus in the editor for fast fixups?
(It's been a while, but I think the Visual Studio equivalent is F8.)
Note that this question does not duplicate Eclipse: How to go to a error using only the keyboard (keyboard-shortcut)?, as that one seeks to navigate only between markers in the current file. In this case, I want to go to the next error regardless of which file it's in.
("Marker" is the general Eclipse term for errors, warnings, etc.)
The best I've come up with so far is Ctrl + F7 to flip to the Problems view, then ↓ to pick the topmost error, then Enter to go to it (which returns focus to the editor).
Here's a way to move to the next error, regardless of editor, in one keystroke. It's not perfect, but it works until it's fixed in Eclipse.
Open a "Markers" view. Click the down arrow at the top right, and choose "Configure Contents". Uncheck the show all box, and create the view to show only the problems you want to see. You'll probably want to deselect "warnings" and "errors" as well. Save it.
Click the same "Markers" down arrow, and choose "Group By". Select "None". This is important because you don't want the parent tree level nodes to show, otherwise some of your "next" actions will take you to those, which don't represent an error.
In Eclipse -> preferences -> keys, search for "Markers". If there is not a keystroke bound to the Markers view, create one. I use Ctrl + Shift + M
Get a keyboard hotkey tool like AutoHotKey (for PC's) or iKey for the Mac. I'm using iKey, but there are plenty of other Mac tools you can use. In your hotkey tool, define an action for the keystroke you want to use for "next error". I chose the standard CMD + .
For that keystroke/action in your hotkey tool, generate 3 keystrokes in the following order:
Ctrl + Shift + M
Down arrow
Enter
Of course, you'll want to change the first one to whatever you picked for yours. You'll probably want to restrict that action to be executed only when Eclipse is the current application.
Save that, create some compile errors, and test it.
Try Ctrl + 3 for Quick access popup window.
If the "Markers view" is not already visible, then type in "markers", in the searchbox on the popup window. Once you have selected it, it should stay available, when you press Ctrl + 3 the next time around.
I just had the same problem, after refactoring some parts of code. I had a lot of errors in different files and i had to go through all of those.
I used the following solution:
Mark all (relevant) entries in the Problems view.
To do this switch to the Problems view using Ctrl+F7 and select the entries with Shift+↓/↑
You can also select all entries using Ctrl+A
Open the marked errors by pressing ↵.
Every file containing at least one marked error will be opened.
The cursor will automatically select one error/file, as if you open only this specific entry
Fix the errors in the opened file.
Here you can use Ctrl+. to navigate to next error inside this file
Close the file using Ctrl+W when your done.
Eclipse will automatically focus the next file and you can go back to step 3
In my case this solution was much faster then switching to the Problems view each time.
There's an Eclipse bug entered for this that has an attachment that looks like it does what you want.
You could use AutoHotkey:
save the mouse position, send a mouse event to click on the arrow in CDT console and then return the mouse back to it's original location. Record the mouse coords with window spy or use autohotkey's search by image function (first capture the images of two arrows with printscreen into bitmaps).
